It’s just 42.zip

Sure why not. Plenty of us have single user instances.

(Funnily enough, the Cisco in-house messaging and video calling solution we use at my work, through which we also receive landline calls, is still running on XMPP to this day, so I sorta became a XMPP user after all…except I haven’t started this software in 10 months because fuck landline calls and we have better alternatives for chatting.)

XMPP is still chugging along on the backends of stuff like that. I’m not sure but I think WhatsApp has some XMPP in it still.

The most ironic one though is Jitsi, which is what Matrix uses/used (until they started working on Element Calls) to do video calls.

Thoughts, prayers, and getting the low hanging fruit down (disabling root login, ssh public keys, updates)

diode.zone/c/the_joy_of_coding is a mirror/restream on PeerTube which runs on ActivityPub, so you should be able to, in theory, follow it just like a Lemmy community/kbin magazine (or microblog, more likely).

No clue if it works in practice though. Inter-software federation especially on Lemmy seems to have it’s fair share of quirks.

Community names are, by default, limited to 20 characters only. No errors or anything pop up when you exceed that, but you can ask your admins to extend the name limit.

In theory, it should work with all of them, but in practice it’s messy and clunky as all of them use ActivityPub in subtly different ways, with their own extensions and quirks.

Also Lemmy versions pre 0.18 (i want to say, unsure) won’t work with GoToSocial or Mastodon instances with secure mode enabled. The recent versions should though.

Completely unrelated but I’m surprised how well Firefox Nightly’s built-in translations worked here. Despite being made just by a few universities, working completely offline, and not having any AI bullshit or Google’s infinite money and experience it was still comprehensible enough to understand.

& it turns out it’s already in your inventory

No idea if Gotosocial supports relays or not, which is my choice of software so far. There seems to be some incompatiblilty between gup.pe and GTS (alpha software and all, expected issues obviously) so those are a no-go as well.

Following accounts are fine, but it’s really the creation part that causes issues. Unless you go full on reply guy, and I have at least some sliver of shame left in my body to not go full reply guy.

.social + .online are the mastodon equivalents of lemmy.ml, except they’ve been through several mass migrations already so they kinda know what they’re doing

.world is (perhaps un)surprisingly the mastodon equivalent of lemmy.world, same admin and all

but tbf joinmastodon.org is so much more polished than join-lemmy that it’s actually worth going through instead of just piling on the largest

get rotated idiot

(lemmy removed the rotation data from the image alongside shit like location info. i think there’s a github issue to not do that but no idea when the devs will get to it)

I know that FitGirl’s installers had some trouble working on wine staging based builds before. Try it with “regular” wine.

ShittyKopper, 10 months ago

There seems to be a fair bit of admins who just run the Lemmy Ansible installer expecting to magically have an instance, and having no idea what they’re getting themselves into.

I wonder how many small Lemmy instances exist right now that have SSH password auth (or god forbid root login of any kind) enabled.

I started dual booting Linux back when Steam for Linux was reasonably new and Portal 2’s native port was on beta. Briefly went back to Windows after building a new, much powerful system for about a year, DXVK & later on Proton happened, and now all the games I care about work flawlessly.

There have been games on my Steam library that I never ran on Windows despite them not officially supporting Linux.

With the deck I seriously hope devs slowly but surely start thinking about native ports as well, but I won’t mind waiting another - uhh, 10?! - years for that to happen. I expect Steam Linux Runtime & Flatpak to be the DXVK & Proton of native ports - as in, the thing that will make them “viable” instead of “theoretically possible”. Win32 is still the most stable ABI on Linux after all.

Surprised you haven’t listed !196 on memes. It’s surprisingly active (if you’re not used to it from Reddit already)

There are no descriptions for image posts. You can however make a post that is both an image and text post at the same time, and throw the description there, until a proper way to put alt text gets implemented.

Any admin worth their salt’s gonna defederate them and proudly wear the Misfit Loser Zealot label[^1]. The only people who’ll federate with them are the naive techbros and those who only care about how much users they have, compared to, idk, being committed to creating a good community.

fedipact.online is already gaining steam with the Mastodon side of the fediverse.

[^1]: Seriously the markdown guy couldn’t’ve picked a better description if he tried.
